South African pharmacy retailer Dis-Chem has reaffirmed the strategic importance of its operations in Namibia as part of its regional expansion strategy, saying its presence in the country and Botswana reflects a disciplined approach focused on regulatory compliance, operational sustainability and long-term value creation.
In its 2026 Integrated Report, the JSE-listed healthcare group said its operations in Namibia and Botswana extend its retail healthcare offering into neighbouring markets with similar consumer healthcare needs and regulatory frameworks, reinforcing its position as a regional healthcare retailer.
The company said its wholesale and distribution infrastructure remains central to supporting its geographic footprint, with strategically located distribution centres enabling efficient product distribution to retail outlets and external customers while reducing supply chain risks and improving service delivery across the healthcare value chain.
